On 25 June 1932, India started its journey in international Cricket as a Test-playing nation, making its debut against England at Lord's. The series is fought over two trophies: 

Anthony de Mello Trophy:
This trophy was awarded for the Test series played between India and England when the series is held in India.
 
Pataudi Trophy:
This trophy was awarded when the Test series between India and England is played in England.
 
In June 2025, the ECB and BCCI decided to award the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to the winning team.
 
 
2018 ENG v IND Tests

In the Five Test series played from 1 August – 11 September 2018, England beat India 4-1 in a very close contest.

India’s bowling attack was potent, but the batting lineup (except Kohli) faltered in key moments. England’s all-round depth (especially Sam Curran and Moeen Ali) proved decisive as they bolstered the total with valuable lower order runs.
